Tte Lowering Springs

[SHAHZ]

Got some TTE springs from Prolex last week at a excellent price :D ,thanks Dave :D, after reading Mr SF thread, i got myself booked in with Tony (STS).

Including geom, it took 3.5 - 4 hours to fit, cheers Tony :) The look aswell as the handling of the car is much better :) ....glad to see the back end come down, car is much more level with the front end B)

[d3fy]

Are those alloys smoked effect?

How much did you pay for labour??

Look much better, lexus should have the suspension lower in the 1st place they look to high when standard.

[Adie]

Fair play mate. Looks much better lowered :D

nice one mate, looks much better :zee:

On my way to work today floored it on a roundabout where normally there is so much body roll, but today noticed a big reduction, handling is getting better as the springs are bedding in :)

Shaz ........ it looks nice mate ! well done !

Just be carefull .......... when you have 3 - 4 people in the car ....... don't go over any pot holes ........ the rear anti roll bar drop pins don't like it !

correct the camber angles add tension to the anti-roll bar and maybe you will I seems one of the topics here is "noise" after lowering the suspension, no real reason has evolved maybe this example is a pointer for the cause. whats the ratio of compression for the "ARB" drop link on the IS with a 30mm suspension drop on a right hand bend with three people in the car and the nsr wheel hitting a pot hole, "can" stock drop links support an extra 200lbs, and even more so can the 8mm bolt that holds all this in place

[Mr Singh]

makes sense...

Looks good Shahz. I've had Eibachs for a while now and really does make a huge improvement in looks and handling. What you need now is some uprated anti-roll bars....one of my best mods.

Standard IS's all need to be lowered....they are way too high!

Oh yeah....watch out for bigger speed humps especially when you have a couple of people in the back.

You now need to uprate your anti-roll bars (sway bars). :D

The wife gave me a geo stagger report the next day and seemingly my right leg was 15degrees out resulting in a frying pan in my future plans in my dreams i thought that "pan" was the floor pan of SHAZE'S car, from there it was all down hill :D
